Globe editorial: The right question to ask about international students and housing

Great summary:

…Ultimately, Ottawa must act to fix the incentive structure that has contributed to the lack of affordable housing. As we’ve argued before, students should be limited to on-campus work. Ottawa should not guarantee permanent residency for international students, although they should be able to apply. Decisive action, which to date has been lacking, will eliminate the incentives that have distorted Canada’s international student system.

That action starts with asking the right question: how can Ottawa fix the mess it has made?
